Some in the crypto community argue that considering his significant influence on Ethereum’s value, Vitalik should consider having a bodyguard for his safety and the protection of their shared interests.

Known for his intellect and approachability, Vitalik’s willingness to personally connect and discuss projects underscores his commitment to advancing blockchain technology. His journey from conceptualizing Ethereum to becoming a billionaire exemplifies not just financial success but a profound impact on global innovation. 
Remarkably, he navigates his influential position without the trappings of typical billionaire status, like bodyguards, symbolizing his grounded nature and genuine passion for his work.
